Do you want to have the pdf document added to the documents table or only create a link that will lead your users to Google Drive to view the document (that way it's not stored on Quickbase and doesn't count towards your attachment storage that can fill up quite quickly with PDFs.
In both situations, the most efficient way is probably to create a pipeline that connects Google Drive to Quickbase. You can set the trigger to be whenever a new file is uploaded to a particular folder on your Google Drive and then add either the URL of the file with its name to your documents table or upload the file to your documents table as a file attachment.

- NicholasGeer3 years agoQrew TraineeI understand what you are saying about attachment storage. Currently, we barely use our storage capacity but with time that could obviously change.
So something like
Pipeline Trigger: File Created (uploaded to Google Drive folder)
Action: Create a new entry on Documents table with a link to the Google Drive document
